My World

Who we are

The organisation was set up in 2007 in response to the need for a structured
summer timetable of activities for three young adults with autism.

The programme was a great success and confirmed our belief in the benefits of such activities.

In 2008 we saw an increase in the numbers
attending, giving more young adults with autism the opportunity to enjoy
meaningful activities during their half term and summer holidays.

Building on the
success of these holiday programmes and acknowledging the national need for
longer term support for adults on the autistic spectrum, we have then expanded
the programme to provide similar support all year round.

From 2012 My World
expanded to a day support service offering person-centred programmes tailored to the person’s wishes and needs. programmes aim to encourage personal development and empower young people to reach their potential and try new things.

Additional to services based in Benson we can offer an outreach service to people with high functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome this can be delivered in the person home and/or another location this can be from three houses above.
